    Morning all


    Between 1965 and 1989 vocations to the clergy dropped every year except 1980 following the papal visit. What % did it rise in 1980 from the 1979 figure?

    I think, not 100% certain, that RC nuns are not ordained so wouldn't be considered clergy

    They talk about seminaries so I don’t think so

    %wise it shouldn’t make much difference


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,862 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Not a great question judging by the interaction, I'll try and find something better for tomorrow

    20% was the correct answer, which is a sizeable enough jump

    From tomorrow until day 25 I will be providing a pass for the closest unique answer to the correct answer (for example today that would have been Kathleen Grant). The will be exempt from elimination the following day
    Ha ha, I was actually trying to wind you up Buile, but then I looked and it's true!

    I searched for that post with the intention of editing it but you can follow it back, I didn't


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,233 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I know that's probably not as funny for you as it is for me :o

    Also, I'm very disappointed that Aris wasn't messing around. You've let me down Aris :D
